10 Euros Treaty of Rome

Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, signed on March 25, 1957, by Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands — the six founding members of what became the European Economic Community. Italy struck commemorative issues across multiple denominations for this anniversary, and the Zecca produced this silver piece alongside a gold 20 Euro in the same series. The treaty itself was signed in the Palazzo dei Senatori on the Capitoline Hill, making Rome's role as host nation a point of particular national pride in the commemorative program.
